Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 10

8:21 To cause my lovers to inherit substance, Yea, their treasures I fill.

8:22 Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before His works since then.

8:23 From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former states of the earth.

8:24 In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there being no fountains heavy [with] waters,

8:25 Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought forth.

8:26 While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top of the dusts of the world.

8:27 In His preparing the heavens I [am] there, In His decreeing a circle on the face of the deep,

8:28 In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong fountains of the deep,

8:29 In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth,

8:30 Then I am near Him, a workman, And I am a delight -- day by day. Rejoicing before Him at all times,

8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my delights [are] with the sons of men.

8:32 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways.

8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and slight not.

8:34 O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance.

8:35 For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out good-will from Jehovah.

8:36 And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating me have loved death!

9:1 Wisdom hath builded her house, She hath hewn out her pillars -- seven.

9:2 She hath slaughtered her slaughter, She hath mingled her wine, Yea, she hath arranged her table.

9:3 She hath sent forth her damsels, She crieth on the tops of the high places of the city:

9:4 `Who [is] simple? let him turn aside hither.' Whoso lacketh heart: she hath said to him,

9:5 `Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have mingled.

9:6 Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.

9:7 The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it -- shame, And a reprover of the wicked -- his blemish.

9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to the wise, and he loveth thee.

9:9 Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increaseth learning.

9:10 The commencement of wisdom [is] the fear of Jehovah, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones [is] understanding.

29:6 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare , And the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 29:7 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor , The wicked understandeth not knowledge. 29:8 Men of scorning ensnare a city , And the wise turn back anger. 29:9 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been angry , And he hath laughed, and there is no rest. 29:10 Men of blood hate the perfect , And the upright seek his soul. 29:11 A fool bringeth out all his mind , And the wise till afterwards restraineth it. 29:12 A ruler who is attending to lying words , All his ministers [are] wicked. 29:13 The poor and the man of frauds have met together , Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both. 29:14 a king that is judging truly the poor , His throne for ever is established. 29:15 A rod and reproof give wisdom , And a youth let away is shaming his mother. 29:16 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth,

30:24 Four [are] little ones of earth , And they are made wiser than the wise: 30:25 The ants [are] a people not strong , And they prepare in summer their food, 30:26 Conies [are] a people not strong , And they place in a rock their house, 30:27 A king there is not to the locust , And it goeth out -- each one shouting, 30:28 A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. 30:29 Three there are going well , Yea, four are good in going: 30:30 An old lion -- mighty among beasts , That turneth not back from the face of any, 30:31 A girt one of the loins , or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him. 30:32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth! 30:33 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter , And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood , And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife! 31:1 Words of Lemuel a king , a declaration that his mother

25:9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not, 25:10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame , And thine evil report turn not back. 25:11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver , [Is] the word spoken at its fit times. 25:12 A ring of gold , and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear. 25:13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest , [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth. 25:14 Clouds and wind , and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift. 25:15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded , And a soft tongue breaketh a bone. 25:16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it. 25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house , Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee. 25:18 A maul, and a sword , and a sharp arrow , [Is] the man
